This summer 2010, rather than have weekly bellydance class, I will be announcing one workshop on a Sunday in August.

1821 Youngfield St Golden, CO 80401 (map)
Please visit the Studio 21 website to register for classes.

Class will break down as many of these moves as time allows. We focus on proper technique while taking time to freestyle, lead and follow and remember to have fun. Each class also features a throught for the day and a helpful handout to students.

• Hip Lifts / Drops
• Hip circles: Skeletal and Muscular
• Omi’s (muscular inner hip circle)
• Chest Lifts / Drops / Circles / Slides
• Hips Figure 8 Forward / Backward / with shimmy
• Mayas (hips) pushing side outward circle R & L and pulling in
• Pelvic lifts and drops combined with chest lifts, drops, pops / locks
• Shimmies:  Knee / Hip / One-leg / Both Legs same time
• Belly: Flutter / Roll / Pops
• Arms: Snake arms / Hand and arm transitions / Shoulder Shimmy
• Undulations / Body Waves / Roll Down & Up / Camel Walk
• Head Slides
  

ADVANCED (as we have time):

• Lotus hands (hands rotating around joined at wrists)
  
• Chest Figure 8's alternating with Hip Figure 8's
  
• ¾ Shimmy with Walk – emphasis Down or Up
• Traveling steps: Choo Choo / Walk with Shimmy or Maya
• Back Bends / Turkish Drops / Floorwork (sit and spin, knee crawl)

*Remember you can always add layers onto these movements by adding a shimmy on top – all depends on what you’re comfortable with. 
Example: Add shimmies onto Mayas or a shoulder shimmy in addition to a chest circle.

Possible workshop ideas for future:

-Beginning Veil Work, -Beginning Zills (Finger Cymbals), -Mastering all the Types of Shimmies, -Comparing Styles: (ATS, Fusion, Cabaret, Egyptian, Turkish, Gypsy), -Drilltime & Shimmy Till You Drop (fitness), -BellyHop (hip hop bellydance fusion)
